How to calibrate

observer spot

First, find the exact spot from this photo:

(TODO: make a new picture that better shows the observer spot)

sky

Calibration requires to tweak three parameters of the texture file:

  • angle_rotatez: azimuth shift
  • maptex_top, maptex_bottom : top and bottom extent of the panoramic photo

Best is to choose specific bodies (Moon, stars, planet) and specific events such as a passage above a pole, from behind a wall, etc... Ideally this requires an accurate time piece (seconds matter!).
